Tonight, Helen took us on a muddy run to Bedford Fields where we met Beth who fed us mince pies & mulled wine which went down very well! Thanks Beth :)

We then got to work decorating the roundhouse with Holly,Ivy & other foliage. We got into pairs & had a competition to see who's was best but Beth was very diplomatic and said all were good which didn't satisfy my competitive spirit!

It was a lovely evening doing Christmas crafts & a great session to finish off the year.

Thanks for a great year all & Merry Christmas!

Last Sunday, 6 of us headed to Leeds Playhouse to watch A Christmas Carol. It was a great show & made us feel very Christmasy!

Tonight was our Christmas party where we got to celebrate all we'd achieved this year & to have some fun! We met at a church hall to have pizza, sweet treats and play games including charades, silly games with cups & the cereal box game (I guess you had to be there)! We finished off with a quiz & celebrated GoodGym Leeds' numbers this year. We did a whopping 709 good deeds, helping 26 different, local organisations, had 12 socials including our first camping trip & we did 2 races (with 2 more to come in December). What a great time we've had doing it all! From members who have been here throughout, to new members who have become part of the team, thanks so much for making GoodGym Leeds so great!

Shall we do it all again in 2026?!

Thanks to Chloe & Rachael for running games tonight.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Tonight we had a moonlit run through Beckett Park up to the OWLS allotments to help them to tidy up for the winter.

It was very dark up at the allotments but we managed to get loads done by torch & moonlight! Jason, Christian & Freddie took wheelbarrows down to go and get woodchip whilst the rest of us weeded, layed membrane & then put the woodchip down.

Welcome to Freddie & Matthew tonight & welcome back to Katie who's back from her adventures.

Thanks for a great night all!

Tonight we had a dark, muddy run along the ridge to head to Meanwood Valley Farm for the last time this year.

We faced the cold and rain at the farm whilst weeding, hoeing, digging and moving compost.

We got loads done in 50 minutes & Andy at the farm rewarded us with some kale, garlic, apples, fennel and more!

We've loved our tasks at the farm this year and will be back for more in 2026.

Great work everyone!

Tonight we ran across the ridge, admiring the fireworks & the full moon along the way.

We headed to Meanwood Valley Farm where half the group got to work cleaning out plant pots and the floor in the green house whereas the rest of us did our usual job of turning the compost. It was a muddy & smelly job but Helen hosed us all down at the end.

It was nice to meet Andreia & Sarah-Jane for the first time. Welcome to GoodGym Leeds.
